The AGA All Comers championship is too close to call as we reach the halfway stage

The AGA All Comers championship reached the halfway stage on Saturday (28th March) at Larkhill. It was what you would call typical Larkhill weather (cold), but the welcome was as warm as ever and there was another landmark for the AGA sponsorship as we sponsored our first ever Mens Open race.

Blue sky and sunshine at Brafield-on-the-Green for round 11 of the AGA All Comers championship

This is a fixture that I’ve always looked at and thought “I’d like to go there”, so we did, and what a glorious day! It was well organised, there were plenty of runners and I had lots of AGA colleagues with me. Anyway, that’s more than enough words, let’s have a look at some photos!

It’s catch up time for the AGA man with three point-to-point fixtures in one blog post – Chaddesley Corbett, Kingston Blount and Hackwood Park!

Where has the last month gone? It doesn’t seem like five minutes since we were stood in the freezing rain at Chaddesley Corbett back in February and now April is just around the corner – and I’m playing catch up with my blog posts (4 to catch up on). The first of the 4 was at […]

AGA champions That’s Rhythm and Page Fuller are ‘Still In Total Control’

A very busy week in the AGA world meant that my blog from the Vine & Craven has had to be put on hold until Saturday evening. That’s fine with me, although Mrs S has had to settle for The Voice and Casualty while I tap away on the keyboard, as opposed to a trip […]

Sunglasses required on a glorious day at Larkhill as Sarah Dawson increases her lead in the AGA All Comers championship

Five minutes after arriving I was scurrying back to the car to retrieve my sunglasses and my brand new selfie stick! Those who know me well will be aware that I rarely miss an opportunity for a selfie (or a piece of cake, Heather), but this particular selfie wasn’t my idea…

There’s a warm welcome for the AGA man in South Dorset on a very special day for Lilly and Maddie

These point-to-point fixtures just keep getting better and better, and this one at Milborne St Andrew left me with a really warm glow which lasted all the way home – just as well really, because it was cold, very cold! However, that did not seem to concern the large, good natured crowd and it certainly […]

Point-to-point horse racing with a difference as the Heythrop provide something for everyone on a superb day in the Cotswolds

We had a good feeling as we headed down the Fosse Way to Cocklebarrow Farm on Sunday (25th January), in fact such was the good mood that we were even singing along to Steve Wright’s Sunday Love Songs (we like Wrighty but we don’t usually do love songs!). Anticipation was high that we would witness some […]

Warm welcome for the AGA man at Ampton as the Dunston Harriers put on a pointing treat

No AGA action today but the opportunity to visit Ampton for the first time was too good to miss, plus, thanks to Mr & Mrs Ellis, I was driven to the races in style (and very nice it was too). We set off at a very reasonable time, and I also contributed to the Ellis […]

Slow start for the AGA man but Larkhill is a huge success, despite the dodgy playlist!

It’s 6am, the car is completely white and it is foggy and freezing outside. I’m grumpy and I don’t want to leave the house, I even put this on social media (along with a photo of me looking suitably grumpy). Mrs S is a non-runner so I hit the road on my own, along with […]
